HyperPen 12000U from Aiptek

Posted on: August 01, 2006


HyperPen 12000U from Aiptek
It beats me why would anyone want the functionality of a tablet PC on a desktop, but there is enough demand in the market to justify the existence of the HyperPen from Aiptek. This USB-powered device provides you with a writing and drawing surface as a virtual notepad. It comes with a wireless pen that can detect up to 512 levels of pressure, allowing you to write naturally without feeling awkward. It can even substitute the mouse, but we doubt you will be using it to play any FPS games anytime soon. The 12" x 9" tablet comes with 24 keys of various functionality. Pick one up for £69.95 today.

The reason I need laptop tablet functionality on a PC is this... I take pictures from a scanning electron microscope which is plugged into my computer and manually color, draw on, or otherwise configure them on the hyperpen tool... It is also used in large part for graphic design, or so I have heard.

not sure I understand your confusion.

a LOT of graphic artist prefer to use tablets for illustration on a computer.

when given a tabletPC, they complain that their HAND gets in the way of their view when drawing.

also, once you get used to your hand being "disconnected" with the position of the cursor on the screen it becomes necessary to "relearn" how to move the cursor on a tabletPC where the curson and pen are located in the same place.
